My name is Dasha Popova. I study in the 9 form “B” school №1924. I live in Moscow, but I was born in Vladivostok.
Vladivostok is a port city. The Japanese sea washes it. Vladivostok is so beautiful city, and it’s relatively young. It is 151. “Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation” Summit will be held on Rysskiy Island in 2012, so people are building the bridge from this island to Vladivostok now and reconstructing many buildings.
Vladivostok has got many museums, theatres and cinemas. The most popular museum is “Seaside State United Museum was named in honor V.K. Arseniev”. So Vladivostok is a port city. It has a big and nice Oceanarium. There is a historical monument and museum “Submarine C-56”, it’s a popular and interesting attraction for tourists.
Drama Art is so important for this city. When I studied in the first and second form, I danced in “Seaside Boundary Academic Theatre it was named in honor M. Gorky”. It’s difficult to say what great emotions I felt. Actors put all their souls in every show. Audiences felt it and applauded.
The most of Vladivostok’s cinemas were built in the USSR. One of them is the cinema “Ocean” has got the biggest display within the Far East.
Many famous people were born in Vladivostok. One of them was Yul Brynner. Yul Brynner was a famous Hollywood actor, the “Oscar” winner. And he was born in Vladivostok.
Anna Shchetinina was the first sea woman-captain of the world. And she was born in Vladivostok too.
I am very proud that I was born in Vladivostok, because it is the most beautiful and my favorite city in the world.
